Lethal Mud

COLOMBIA

Mocoa, Colombia— A boy rests next to a motorcycle on April 2, after floods and mudslides killed more than 200 people. Rescue workers locked to the city, clawing through rubble and debris to look for survivors. Despite the lack of food, electricity or clean water, survivors and rescue workers remained undeterred. As one woman told Reuters as she searched for her daughters and granddaughter: “I need to know where they are.… If they are dead, please, God deliver them to me.”

WHEN BILLIONAIRES ATTACK
MR. Monopoly, that mustachioed fat cat, was about as close as most Americans got to a New York City billionaire until candidate Donald Trump started flying his jet to their villages last year. Now they are practically an everyday sight, because President Trump has coaxed a pack of them out of their penthouses and private jets to either join his Cabinet or sit on his councils and advisory boards. Trump voters know they’ve had a government for billionaires, that’s one reason they’re so mad, but to have one by billionaires
means the Mighty Oz is now setting the nation’s agenda, and there is no curtain.
